Compatability

[beej]

Im getting this cpu:

Amd Phenom 9600: http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/spec ... ?AMD-P9600 (http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?AMD-P9600)

and was just wondering if this motherboard:
Asus M2N SLI Deluxe Nforce 570 Socket AM2 SLI Motherboard (http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?ASU-M2NSD) will be compatible...

thanks for any help

I wouldn't touch a Phenom with a bargepole:

The chip has a serious flaw, and patching it impacts performance.

If you want my oppinion on this, I would have to say, GO FOR THE INTEL CORE 2 QUAD Q6600! They are in my eyes the best quad core processors on the market, being value for money. I don't like AMD, I do not know why but I just don't, I have always been with Intel and will remain like that for the rest of my life ;) I would personally recommend you go for a Q6600 and stick with Intel, but everyone has their own choice.
I hope you choose whisely.. ;)
